EPIC Games loves PS4

Strong rumors are starting, along with evidence that EPIC Games main team (Gears of War) will be developing for PS4.

Vice President of EPIC Mark Rein has been posting a lot of PS4 comments on his twitter showing how excited he is for it. He even posted a Countdown to PS4 Launch day. That same Countdown was also posted by Sony's Manager of 3rd Party Relations, Adam Boyes. So it's obvious that EPIC and Sony have been visiting each others offices and an announcement could be made soon. Mark Rein was also the same guy that said something to the extent of Sony answering their prayers when they added 8GB of GDDR5 RAM in PS4.

EPIC has been quiet lately and the main team hasn't released a game since Gears of war 3 all the way back in 2011. They have been noticeably absent from all of Microsofts Xbox One announcements, while showing off their UE4 tech demo at PS4's February reveal and also at E3.

Geoof Keighley also tweeted that their will be an "epic night of announcements on November 14th" at the PS4 Launch show on SpikeTV.

Here are a couple Demo's they've released of Unreal Engine 4. Personally I would be happy to see either one of these made into a game. Both look amazing.

i would like to see a gears of war game useing unreal 4. there is a good chance that epic wil bring gears to ps4.
ms is not the publier for next gen gears and they dont own the series also i would like to see that demo
Samaritan become a real game and the other one also

At E3, Rein said that Samaritan was a letter to console makers; and Sony answered. I knew then that Epic and Sony would probably have a more interesting relationship this gen. They are interested in pushing the envelope with their graphics and PS4 is going to be the best console platform to do that on so I wouldn't be surprised at an announcement sometime soon.

I enjoyed the first Gears, me and my friend played the crap out of co-op. Again we played Gears 2, but didn't enjoy it as much and didn't even try the others after that. I really hope it is not Gears related and a brand new IP that will be to Sony what Gears was to MS.

Yes.

EPIC is not just trying to sell games, they are trying to sell Unreal Engine 4 to other developers.

So they want the most powerful hardware possible to show off what UE4 is capable of. And with a superior GPU, more Shaders, and superior GDDR5 RAM... PS4 is the console for that.

Yep, hope its Samaritan. Would love to see the new Unreal engine running on PS4.

Fortnite is described as a co-op sandbox survival game and is about exploration, scavenging gear, building fortified structures, and fighting waves of encroaching monsters. Players will work together to scavenge items they can use for building by day to build their fort, and by night defend it from the monsters. Building will be a core mechanic in the game, and there will be "a lot of loot" buried within. Players can build and edit each wall of their fort with a 3x3 grid, laydown stairs, roofs, and windows, sculpting them to suit a particular need. Epic Games Poland (formally Epic Games's subsidiary People Can Fly) will also be working on the title.

A long term partnership between EPIC and Sony would be cool. Dedicated to pushing the system to it's limits and showing what they can do with U4. Infiltrator looks like Predator on steroids. Samaritan like Deus EX meets Max Payne 1 -- looks even more fun than Watch Dogs. Or even some new IP that combines all the above, with couch or online co-op.
